To get the list of installed packages suitable for reprepro, do:
dpkg --get-selections | sed -e 's/:[^ \t]*//' > conf/mylist.lst
This you can then give to reprepro in a conf/updates block listing
the source where you get your packages and add something like
FilterList: purge mylist.lst
to make that update rule pull only package that you have installed.
Removing newer packages than some given set is not that easy AFAIK.
(There is support for the other way around: Doing a mirror with only
packages from the DVD that you do not have a newer version around).
If you compare the versions yourself and know which packages not to
include, you can add create another list with "<packagename> purge"
in each lines and give that to FilterList to exclude them:
FilterList: purge mylist.lst without.lst
Hope that helps,
